The distinguished Luxembourg composer, Marcel Wengler, writing about his work Versuche uber einen Marsch, articulated Membership in the 48-member ensemble is determined by audition in the fall of each academic year. The wind and the excitement that is abroad today about wind music and the emerging wind repertoire. percussion players in the Wind Ensemble are among the most talented in the School of Music. Almost all of the performers in the Sir Simon Rattle acknowledged the incredible standard of wind, brass and percussion playing of our time when he told me: ensemble are undergraduates; the majority are studying music education. ... the more we encourage composers to use the wind ensemble, the better it's going to be, particularly Ithaca College's School of Music, housed in the James J. Whalen Center for Music, enjoys a distinguished reputation with the generation of wind players that's out there now. among institutions for professional music study in the United States. A celebrated faculty teaches some 500 undergraduate music In Spring 2006, Leonard Slatkin conducted the US Marine Band at the Strathmore Music Center, Baltimore, in majors each year, maintaining the conservatory tradition within a comprehensive college setting. The School of Music is home to a sensational programme of Bach, Prokofiev and the new Corigliano Symphony, Circus Maximus. When he last specialists in virtually every orchestra and band instrument; in voice, piano, organ, and guitar; and in music education, jazz, conducted the President’s Own, he said of the medium in an interview: composition, theory, history, and conducting. Ithaca's music professors perform regularly on campus and throughout the country What I think you are finding is that more composers are using the orchestral venue to experiment and use in recitals and concerts, contribute to publications and professional organizations, and make presentations at numerous different frameworks. So, some of the works that are emerging for wind ensemble are designed not only for use conferences and workshops every year. with band but for use within an orchestral concert where you might not require the strings. I first "discovered" the medium twenty-five years ago when Frank Battisti brought the first International Conference to the Royal Northern College in Manchester. I have been increasingly excited by the potential of the medium ever since, despite the ITHACA COLLEGE WIND ENSEMBLE dead hand of commercialism and compromise that dulls so many wind concerts and recordings.

  • Oboe Trios: an Annotated Bibliography
    Oboe Trios: An Annotated Bibliography by Melissa Sassaman A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved November 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Martin Schuring, Chair Elizabeth Buck Amy Holbrook Gary Hill ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2014 ABSTRACT This project is a practical annotated bibliography of original works for oboe trio with the specific instrumentation of two oboes and English horn. Presenting descriptions of 116 readily available oboe trios, this project is intended to promote awareness, accessibility, and performance of compositions within this genre. The annotated bibliography focuses exclusively on original, published works for two oboes and English horn. Unpublished works, arrangements, works that are out of print and not available through interlibrary loan, or works that feature slightly altered instrumentation are not included. Entries in this annotated bibliography are listed alphabetically by the last name of the composer. Each entry includes the dates of the composer and a brief biography, followed by the title of the work, composition date, commission, and dedication of the piece. Also included are the names of publishers, the length of the entire piece in minutes and seconds, and an incipit of the first one to eight measures for each movement of the work. In addition to providing a comprehensive and detailed bibliography of oboe trios, this document traces the history of the oboe trio and includes biographical sketches of each composer cited, allowing readers to place the genre of oboe trios and each individual composition into its historical context. Four appendices at the end include a list of trios arranged alphabetically by composer’s last name, chronologically by the date of composition, and by country of origin and a list of publications of Ludwig van Beethoven's oboe trios from the 1940s and earlier.
